Recurring Tasks
Being able to set recurring tasks on a month to month basis would be ideal. You can use a work around by creating meetings, but it would be more helpful to have tasks that your entire team can tick off, yet will recur.

Most other software does this which is why I only use teams if forced to. such a shame.

Agreed with the confusion others have noted regarding why recurring tasks exist in To Do but are not in Tasks after the merge with Planner. It's hard to advocate for Teams amongst my work team when it's missing basic features like this.

I don't understand why it works in the microsoft to do app but not in the tasks app in microsoft teams. it is a basic function in a to do manager.

Recurring tasks is a BASIC task/to do function. This should have been one of the fundamental activities rather than having to create a new task again, and again, and again, and again.

This is desperately needed. PLEASE add this function.

The inability to schedule recurring tasks is the major reason our organization has not moved all activity into Teams. We operate on checklists for just about everything. In fact, we started using Planner first. Our IT person showed us Teams and the option to use Tasks by Planner. Really missing the recurring task feature though.

The FREE https://clickup.com/features allows recurring tasks and MUCH more for task mgmt.
A pity that Teams is feature poor in this regard. Should also alow to create task TEMPLATES (shareable among teams or even among channels)... -

Recurring task lists would act as checklists (aka workflows) for jobs that have to be done each day (or week, whatever). Essentially the user could start up and follow a new checklist each time they have to run a process for instance. I have used SharePoint to mimic this. But a proper task list would be useful.

It doesn't make sense to have to generate a Flow to create a recurring task and repeat this every time for several other items. It's a common and simple feature that was overlooked; I'm surprised this isn't incorporated for enterprise use.

The inability to schedule recurring tasks is the one thing that keeps our enterprise supporting a competing product. Adding the feature would allow us to move our users and ensure our data security by keeping it within our MS environment.

Teams tasks is of limited usefulness for managing a team with cyclical work. I'm actually quite surprised that such a common functionality wasn't included in the first place.

With 389 votes and 60comments, why is this not a thing yet? :( We could definitely use it for our weekly tasks at work.

Recurring Tasks is very helpful.
Is this feature something that is being considered? -

I'm surprise by now that recurring task is not an option. We have maintenance tasks that we like to schedule as a tasks and assign them to certain people. We would like to also be able to track the progress. The only option we have now is to use Sharepoint Calendar (because that is the only thing that has a recurring feature) and you cannot assign people to a calendar item. Recurring should be added to everything across the board.

I 100% agree, having recurring tasks would save so much time and would provide more consistency in tasks and allocation.
Very much over using Outlook for my tasks. planner has been awesome so far, but not being able to set recurring tasks daily/weekly/monthly isn't user friendly......Any idea if this is in the pipeline to be added???
